Exchange-Traded Fund

In the wide and varied family of the thousands and thousands of funds out there, the exchange-traded fund is one of the more consumer-friendly ones.

Unlike mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, behave more like stocks. You can buy into an ETF at any time, and sell it whenever you feel like it. And like a stock, an ETF's value can rise and fall--depending on what the ETF is invested in.What do ETFs invest in? Well, they're typically linked to an index like the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500. So, if you had an ETF that trades the same companies that make up the Dow or the S&P, it will rise and fall in value pretty much the same amount as the Dow or S&P.

You can also buy ETFs that invest in other types of products, like bonds, currencies, gold or other commodities. The ETF market has grown considerably in the past few years, so there is no shortage of ETFs to invest in.

BOCA RATON, FL, Jun 18, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) ----Notice is hereby given that Saxena White P.A. has filed suit on behalf of shareholders of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. ("Lehman Brothers" or the "Company") (NYSE: LEH) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The complaint seeks damages for violations of federal securities laws on behalf of all investors who purchased Lehman common stock between September 13, 2006 through June 6, 2008, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Lehman Brothers is an international investment banking firm. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants touted the Company's strong liquidity position, superior risk management policies and stable overall financial prospects despite a difficult environment in the financial services industry. As a result of Defendants' statements, the stock traded as high as $86.18 per share during the Class Period.

The complaint extends a prior Class Period to include the Company's most recent earnings disclosure of June 9, 2008. On this date, prior to the opening of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company stunned the market by reporting a $2.8 billion second quarter loss -- nearly ten times the loss analysts had anticipated and the Company's first reported loss since going public in 1994. Lehman Brothers also announced plans to raise $6 billion in additional capital to help it survive its financial crisis. This news shocked investors as management had issued repeated assurances that the Company was financially strong and its liquidity position solid, even going so far as denying speculation that Lehman Brothers would suffer losses such as this. The stock closed at $29.48 that day, a decline of $2.81, on heavy volume of close to 170 million shares.

You may obtain a copy of the complaint from the Court, by contacting Saxena White P.A. through its website www.saxenawhite.com, by emailing jwhite@saxenawhite.com or gstone@saxenawhite.com, or by calling (561) 394-3399.
